England 200 Years Ago.

Most of the iron used in England at
that time was imported and coal was
used for domestic purposes only.
No canals had been dug and during
a great part of the year most of the
roads were impossible for vehicles.
The population of England 200 years
ago was about five millions; at the last
census England and Wales numbered
25,974, 439.
The amount of money raised by tax
alton was very much smaller than at
present, the oppressive chimney tax be-
ing a chief source of income.
The judges were unanimously of
opinion that by the common law of
England no man not authorized by the
crown had right to publish political
news.
Four-ffths of the common people
were employed in agriculture at 4
pence day with foods pence with
out food. Four shillings a week was
considered fair average wage.
The sheep and cattle at that time
were very diminutive; and the native
horses, though serviceaDle, were held
in small esteem and fetched low prices
about 80 shillings each.
An English mechanic could exact a
shilling day hand-loom weavers
had been reduced to 6 pence a day.
Brick-layers were employed for the
most part only in summer at half a
crown day; plumbers 3 shillings.
At Enfield, hardly out of the sight Of
London, was region of five and twenty
miles in circumference which contained
only three houses and scarcely any in
closed fields. Deer, as free as in an
American forest, wandered there by
thousands.
The great majority of the nation
lived almost entirely on rye, barley,
and oats. Almost all essential articles
were dearer then than now-sugar,
salt, candles, soap, shoes, and gener-
ally all articles of bedding. Blankets
were unknown until 1908. The class
below the laborer and the artisan, one
fourth of the whole population, de-
pended upon parochial relief, having no
other means of living.
A large proportion of the country
north of the Trent, down to the eigh-
teenth century, was in state of bar
barism. In Northumberland blood
hounds were kept to track robbers.
The judges on circuit, with the sheriff
and armed retainers, had to carry their
provisions with them, for between
Newcastle and Carlisle was y wilder
ness which afforded no supplies and
was full of danger.

Early English Coal Mining.

Coal has been worked in England
was only in the beginning of the
seventeenth century that explosions
in collieries appear to have been heard
OF. Even then they were seldom fatal
One which occurred at Moslyn, on the
Dee, in 1876, and which killed a
man and blew off the winding drum
at the top of the pit, was apparently
so novel an event as to be thought
worthy of description in the ''Philo-
sophical Transactions of the Royal
Society" This comparative infre-
quency of explosions in the early
workings is readily accounted for by
the mode in which coal was got at
that time. The pits were very shall
low; indeed, at the beginning of the
eighteenth century no pit had reached
a greater depth than sixty fathoms;
commonly they were not more than
twenty to thirty fathoms deep. To-
day some of our pits are half mile in
depth; the Ashton Moss pit at Auden-
shaw, for example, is close upon $50
fathoms deep. Moreover, the old
workings did not extend to any con-
siderable distance from the shafts. In
fact, in the early days of coal-gather-
ing the miners were more hindered by
water and choke damp than by explo-
sive gas. Choke damp must, indeed,
have been sore trouble, if we may
judge from the old-fashioned method
of bringing round asphyxiated coll
iers. The remedy, we are told, ''was
to dig hole in the earth and lay them
on their bellies with their mouth in
it; if that fail they tun them full of
good ale; but if that fail they conclude
them desperate. GOOD Words.

A Busy Author.

John Habberton is one of the busiest
of men in this busy town. His days
are spent in the Herald office, he reach
ing there every morning at nine and
leaving rarely before six in the eve
ming. The author lives with his
family at New Rochelle, and it is on
the train between New Rochelle and
New York that most of his stories are
conceived. A small reporters pad is
his constant companion, and on its
leaves he jots down the plots and
heads of his stories. whether they oc-
cur to him in the horse car or on the
train. Formerly Mr.. Habberton re-
sided in Brooklyn, where he was a
close neighbor of Henry Ward
Beecher, but his love for the country
led him to take up his home in New
Rochelle. He is called upon more
frequently than perhaps any of our
other writer's for a story from some
periodical at almost moments no.
tice. He never fails in meeting these
sudden calls, or in giving satisfaction
to the editor or publisher for whom he
writes. Mr.. Habberton is in the
prime of his manhood. He is forty
years of age, with high and finely
rounded forehead and an abundance of
dark wavy hair. His manner is frank
and cordial; he is deliberate in speech,
and rapid conversationalist, who
never has to hesitate for a word.-M

MEN WHO PREFER TO STARvE.

Il is often said that hundreds OF men
walk the streets of New York seeking
work and are unable to find it. The
most prominent broker i'll town said the
other night that this was entirely up-
true.
81 can give every man work." he said,
though it may not be the kind he de
sires or is fitted for. l have dozens of
restaurants and hotels to supply. and
there are always some vacancies. This
mornings papers announced the suicides
of three men who became desperate be
cause they could not get work. If they
had been willing to take the first thing
that came along they'd have been all
right. No man need starve."
''How low do wages run2"
81 sent three men to work as porters
to-day for 81 week, including luncheon.
You starve. Of course 81 is nothing to
us, but the men who want work for that
much and six square meals a week will
have to- struggle Ill New York. No mat
ter how small the wages, you can always
get men to accept them, but you cannot
always get man who has held a high
position to accept a lower one. They
will starve to death first. l mean this
literally. They will undergo the awful
horrors of starvation before they will
throw away their pride. 1t is the ruling
spirit, yon know. The other day the
doctors told Dewey, the big Wall street
operator, that he had only a few hours
to live. He called for his broker at once
and arranged for selling out his stock.
Can YOU imagine a man thinking of the
stock market when on the very verge of

The BIRD THE MExICANs FEAR
Tombstone (Ari.) Epitaph: During the

birds to his collection of the feathered
tSb< of Arizona, among which is q very
rare specimen of the hawk family called

bird of the har1nest plumage; at the
same time ID has most ugly bead and
vicious talons, besides its beak is al
most as sharp as a needle sud nearly as
strong as the largest hawk. This bird,
but for its head, when on the wing
would pass for pigeon. When seeking
Ids prey he plays pigeon and flies in

similarity and easily captures what he
wants. he is the picture Of grace, beauty

family, this kind are phenomenally rare
so rare that it is estimated that there
are not more than q dozen of them in
The Territory. The Mexicans are super
stitious about him and regard his appear

PERSONAL TRAITS OF THE CZAR.

Alexander Ill. was always one of the
most taciturn of Princes, so, before he
became Emperor, very little was really
known of his character and opinions be-
yopd the limits of the Court. When
this is the case with an heir apparent
there are plenty people ready to invent
bon mots and ideas for him, but he GER
tainly gave the impression of being al
most without care and of having a
ready capacity Tor enjoyment. No one
at the theater laughed more at the comic
parts of play; but it is hard on a man
when he cannot applaud the ingenuity of
three actresses who stood together, one
dressed in red, the second IN white, the
third in blue, after the German Ambas'
sador had demonstrated at the tricolor
being displayed on a st. Petersburg
stage, without being at once set down as
the stanchest Francophile. The tragic
event of March 1851, undoubtedly
sobered him, and he has ever since been
a sadder and graver man. The fatal
Sunday afternoon he had parted from
his father, after service at the riding
school, and WAS sitting down to luncheon
half an hour later with his wife at the

throne was imminent, and they both

ing bitterly. For long time afterward
her shattered health and spirits required
the greatest solicitude, and they conse-
quently lived in strict retirement, which
was readily misconstrued by the friends
of the NihiIist movement; but since her
recovery they have paid five visits to
Moscow and have been warmly received

the country of the Don Cossacks.

A Spaniel Rescues Kitty.

A spaniel, living on farm in Fland-
ers, had for companion beautiful
young cat, whom the ruthless farmer
had doomed to determination. Tying
a stone round her neck, he threw her
into the river. But the spaniel ''pre-
cipitated himself resolutely' into the
stream, and brought her back in tri-
umph to the house. Will it be believed
that the heart of the farmer remained
hardened! Again he threw poor puss
into the Mouse; but again, like another
Horatius, the spaniel-though without

laughable looking beings.
At first one would feel pity for the

victim of some terrible burning or scald

dogs issue forth to welcome you, the feel

rather than of an accident. very few

spirit Of treachery and hate toward

THE DUDELY CAST OF CoUNTENANCE.
These beautiful days Mrs. Cleveland

victoria. In the morning, while her
husband is toiling and working upstairs
in his library, his beautiful wife orders
the carriage and goes out for a drive.
Since her mother has been out West
Mrs. Cleveland has not gone out to Red
Top, but has driven about the smooth
streets of the city. The other day an
EHghshman was waking on the street,
when the White House Carriage came
along, and he saw Mrs. Cleveland for
the first time. The fresh air had made
her cheeks red and rosy, and size looked
very beautiful.
The Englishman was struck by her
beauty, and exciai med:
